Oh, I'm not trying to gather intelligence; I'm planning to just arrest that person and take him back.

Being able to defeat half of the ancestor's power is indeed quite impressive, but that's about it.

Hu Xi did not come alone; he brought two wolves from the neighboring Yinshan Mountain with him.

Two wolf demons in human form.

---

Bai Yao looked around in the woods but didn't see the figure she was looking for, so she frowned slightly.

"Stop looking, she's not here." Hu Xi leisurely twirled the fur of the wolf demon next to her with her fingers, and the wolf demon obediently stood still and let her do as she pleased.

These wolf demons were indeed quite obedient. Hu Xi had sensed this before. Although the wolf demons in Yinshan were inexplicably terrifyingly strong, they weren't very bright.

There were seven or eight wolf demons that had taken human form, but few of them were smart enough, otherwise they wouldn't have been used like this by their ancestor.

Bai Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, pursed her lips as she looked at the three monsters opposite her.

Anyone who saw this scene would clearly know it was a trap.

She had a premonition before she came, but she had no choice but to step in.

"Are you from the Hundred Demon Pavilion?" Bai Yao quietly put her hand into her pocket.

"Hundred Demon Pavilion? Never heard of it." Hu Xi muttered the name and shook his head.

"Where is Xiaoqian?"

“I already said, it’s not here.” Hu Xi had a strange smile on his face.

Bai Yao glanced silently at the two people behind Hu Xi, offering no clear answer. She could say Bai Qian had been captured, or she could say she wasn't...

Looking at Pei Huan and Zhao Lin behind him, he felt a little powerless.

Before I came here, there might have been some hope, but now there's probably no hope at all.

Although she rarely practiced martial arts, she still understood demons quite well. If there were no surprises, the three in front of her were probably all demons in human form.

In this remote little county town, they encountered three demons in human form in one go.

If it weren't for the Hundred Demons Pavilion coming after him, he could only lament his bad luck.

Bai Yao didn't actually have too many worries. After all, she wasn't afraid of death. If that strange creature hadn't stopped inexplicably before, she might have died at its hands. It was her own idea to die, although she later gave up that thought. But in the end, she wasn't afraid of death.

"You've caught her?" Bai Yao continued to ask, needing to confirm.

Hu Xi didn't answer. It was arranging things and didn't care about Bai Yao, or rather Pei Huan and Zhao Lin. It only brought them over to force Bai Qian to come.

This is a trap, set for Bai Qian. As for what the three people opposite think... it really doesn't care. Let them think what they want. Anyway, it will deal with that girl soon.

All three can be taken back to the mountain. The woman can be used as a human form for the foxes, while the man will be more sought after.

"Wait, if she comes over, restrain her first, so she doesn't escape," Hu Xi instructed, turning his head.

"I understand," the half-human werewolf replied in a muffled voice. The man in the straw raincoat behind it remained expressionless and silent.

Bai Yao looked at them, then turned to look at Pei Huan, and found that the girl seemed...not worried at all? She didn't seem nervous either.

Instead, he was looking around, seemingly searching for something.

Zhao Lin's words, on the other hand, already indicated that he was ready to fight.

Bai Yao sighed and took a step forward.

If it were just encountering demons entering the country, she would still hope that the two of them could be of some help.

But in the current situation, bringing people in rashly would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths.

Hu Xi glanced at Bai Yao who walked up, but didn't intend to interfere.

While pondering what to use to trap Bai Qian.

A strange chill crept into my heart.

She looked at Bai Yao, at those white eyes.

It appeared in front of Hu Xi without her noticing.

Five icy white fingers pressed against Hu Xi's forehead.

----

E'nu is the name of a deity in Liangdu. There are probably not many people in Daliang who believe in her. She is the deity who governs the rising and setting of the moon and the joys and sorrows of human life. She seems to be a benevolent deity.

That was before. At least the E'nu that Bai Yao knew was not like that. The E'nu she knew was a crazy, vicious, and strange creature.

He is the deity worshipped by the Bai family, and it is said that he was found by people in the past from somewhere unknown.

People of the Bai family, especially the direct descendants of the Bai family, can use His power.

This is probably why Bai Yao dared to live alone outside, and also why the Bai family dared to fight against the demons of Liangdu.

Of course, judging from the news that came through, E'nu probably couldn't deal with those vicious demons in Liangdu either, otherwise so many of her family members wouldn't have died.

The true form of E Nu is in Liangdu. Bai Yao only has a talisman containing her aura. After using it, she can have this aura empower her.

Only members of the Bai family can use it. After all, if anyone else were to come into contact with this person's aura, their head would probably be blown off. Even if members of the Bai family used it, the side effects would be quite terrifying.

There was no other way, and Bai Yao didn't want to use this thing. When she encountered that strange creature before, she didn't have time to use it because her whole body was sealed and she couldn't move, and she didn't have time to tear off the talisman.

She calmly tore open the talisman in her pocket.

Volume 1: 57. The Path Above the Meridians

"He's not dead yet." Tong Hui squatted at the village entrance, looking at the pieces of flesh scattered on the ground, and took a deep drag on his pipe. He said this to Bai Qian.

He glanced at Bai Qian beside him. Bai Qian was sitting on the stool where the pig demon leader had been sitting, looking at something.

"Oh." Bai Qian glanced at the information on the panel and gave a casual "oh."

[In the twenty-third year, you successfully deduced the method for connecting the last three missing extraordinary meridians in the Mountain Tiger Fist. With this, you have opened all twelve orthodox meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, achieving mastery of meridian connection.]

[In the thirty-second year, after you achieved mastery of the Meridian Opening stage, you attempted to break through further. However, because you were unfamiliar with the subsequent realms, you were completely at a loss as to where to begin or what to do. All you could do was continuously hone your physical body and martial arts skills.]

In the forty-fourth year, you believed that internal energy (qi) should be the direction for breakthrough, so you began a long process of deduction and research, using this as a starting point.

[In the forty-ninth year, you suffered a qi deviation, resulting in severe injuries that will require two years of recuperation to fully recover.]

Bai Qian raised her eyebrows slightly as she looked at the newly appeared information. This was the first time she had seen such information before. Previously, she had only been stuck in a bottleneck, but there had been no issues like qi deviation or demonic possession.

After thinking about it, I decided not to try adding any more points.

Bai Qian simply wanted to see if she could add up her 49 years of demon lifespan in one go, having already spent 49 years of her demon lifespan.

It seems like it won't work now? Or rather, we need to find a way to break through later, otherwise it will just be a waste of effort. There's no way to reach the top in one step, which is a bit disappointing.

Looking up at the old man, Bai Qian saw that he was very strong. She had thought he was about to die and was planning to burn incense to help him prolong his life. But in no time, he recovered on his own.

"What about the people in these villages?" Bai Qian asked casually, looking up from the panel.

“Didn’t you just kill all those who deserved to die? The rest can just send those who were captured back,” Tong Hui said, glancing at the corpses on the ground.

This girl's bloodthirstiness is a bit frightening. Even when he was young, he didn't have such a bloodthirstiness.

A living Yama.

"And you?" Bai Qian continued to ask.

"Me? I'm going back to find a place to sleep. I've done everything, and I'm satisfied." Tong Hui waved the pipe in his hand.

I barely managed to hold on, just so the girl wouldn't worry about me. It's always the elderly who care about children, never children.

He was indeed quite satisfied. He planned to go back and order a nice coffin, lie down in it, and have Liu Si find a good place to bury him.

He should have died long ago. There's no need for him to keep clinging to life. It would be better for him to die and see his granddaughter.

Bai Qian didn't speak, but glanced at the old man.

She could still understand what the old man meant, but she didn't know what to say.

"The meridian opening is after that?" Tong Hui frowned upon hearing Bai Qian's question.

"I've heard it's called Divine Will, but I don't know the specifics of how to advance to the next level," he replied, shaking his head.

"You can go to the county town and ask around. I heard that a martial artist at the Divine Intent level once came from there." He wasn't surprised by Bai Qian's question, nor did he say that the girl was being unrealistic.

It has already been proven before that I am the one who is blind.

Regardless of whether someone else trained for five days or fifty years, the skill of shattering a pig demon with a single punch is something I probably couldn't achieve even if I trained for a lifetime.

Bai Qian gently touched her lips with her finger and subconsciously nodded her head.

Only in the county seat...

Killing demons is quite important, but the lifespan gained from killing demons is ultimately used to increase power.

It's a bit frustrating that we have so much lifespan for these demons, but we don't know what the future holds, so there are problems with improving them.

Otherwise, we could just pile up all the lifespans of all the demons together. Even if there's no way to advance their ranks, there would still be some improvement.

Bai Qian is currently mainly thinking about this problem.

I haven't figured out the answer yet.

Gently raise your head and look at the night sky in a certain direction.

"What's wrong?" the old man asked when he saw Bai Qian looking in that direction.

"I have something to do." Bai Qian looked into the distance, narrowed her eyes slightly, and a faint coldness appeared in them.

Without saying much to the old man, he stood up and walked towards the woods, disappearing from the old man's sight in a few moments.

Tong Hui frowned, his eyebrows turning white, as he watched Bai Qian's departing figure.

What happened?

----

A pale, shadowy figure swayed through the woods, the girl's delicate, pale face expressionless.

"Where is Xiao Qian?" she asked quietly, looking at Hu Xi. Her voice sounded like she was scratching a wooden board with her fingernails, which was chilling to hear.

Hu Xi didn't say anything, but the smile on his face didn't diminish.

“This is strange,” said the man in the straw raincoat behind Hu Xi.

"I can tell," Hu Xi said calmly.

It looked at Bai Yao, who was dressed in white, and stretched out its palm.

The next second, Bai Yao came to its front again, and ignoring its outstretched palm, she slapped it down with her five fingers forming a palm.

Hu Xi was caught off guard and struck by a palm. The cold mist spread out as Bai Yao pressed down with her five fingers.

"A frozen-to-death ghost?" the man in the straw raincoat next to him asked.

Hu Xi didn't say anything; it just quickly took a few steps back and caught its breath.

On the other side, the half-human, half-wolf demon howled.

The leaves rustled in the forest, and one figure after another emerged from the woods.

These are all people, but they are not living people; rather, they are all dead people.

They stared blankly in their direction.

Ghost.

It is not a tiger's accomplice, but perhaps a wolf's accomplice, since it is a accomplice ghost raised by a wolf demon.

"Take care of her quickly, otherwise it'll be even more troublesome when that girl arrives," Hu Xi said.

The man in the straw raincoat didn't react much, but the half-human wolf demon became much more excited upon hearing this.

It looked at Bai Yao, who was dressed in white, and waved its hands twice.

The demons surged forward.

This wasn't just directed at Bai Yao, but also included Pei Huan and the others standing nearby.

Bai Yao paused for a moment, then turned around and protected them.

One block of ice after another was created, and the surging ghouls were instantly covered by frost and stood still.

But there's no need for these accomplices anymore. Hu Xi stretched out her palm again, looking at Bai Yao opposite her, her heavily made-up face still bearing a strange smile.
